We
are back from our wonderful adventure. We were gone a total
of 15 days and the last week was on the boat. It could not
have been better!! We had such a great time. The crew and
staff were friendly and helpful and the room was excellent.
We got very lucky and the rest of the guests were fun and
easy to get to know. We highly recommend it.
The Greek Isles are breathtakingly beautiful!!
A big thanks to you for helping us. ...Terri...6/15/09 |

The 51 meter M/S Galileo is a classic steel hull motor sailer,
with spacious and well appointed interiors renovated in 2007.
The Galileo is always sailing under motors. Sails are occasionally
used when weather and route allow.
Life on Board
At the main deck, a lounge area with an American bar leads
into a warm and elegant dining room finished with wood and
leather. Guests on Galileo enjoy the most, a shaded outdoor
deck area with an outdoor bar and the ship's sun deck equipped
with sun beds and deckchairs.
The Cabins
The M/S Galileo's 25 outside guest cabins are located on the
Lower and the Upper Deck all with large windows or portholes.
Elegantly decorated, they have either twin or queen sized
beds and bathrooms with showers en suite. All cabins are fully
air-conditioned and offer storage space and radio music controls.
